All I can say that it was a fun time dancing to their afrobeat, jazz and funk music at Southminster United Church.
Wasn’t until after the second or third song that people came up to the front and dance!
It was quite a wonderful show and my first time catching them live!! 9/10.

http://photogmusic.com/sudanarchives-comeseeheartheworld/#respondSun, 17 Feb 2019 16:32:20 +0000http://photogmusic.com/?p=45255Ottawa Bluesfest presented their first inaugural festival called Come See and Hear The World.
An offshoot in conjunction with the city’s annual Winterlude festivities and celebrate diversity through music.
When it was announced back in January there was no way I didn’t want to miss Sudan Archives from Los Angeles.
Sink was released last year and was my #1 EP of 2018.
Performing at Southminster United Church in the Glebe area.
Started off with a smudging ceremony and began an insane instrumental track.
Fusing musical style of Northeast and West African fiddlers with electronica and urban R&B sounds.
So great hearing Water, Nont For Sale and Beautiful Mistake live was beauty on my ears.
Wanted to dance but didn’t want to be the one person looking like an idiot!
One of my favorite shows so far this year! 10/10.

http://photogmusic.com/arkells-lordhuron-ctcentre/#respondSat, 16 Feb 2019 16:29:34 +0000http://photogmusic.com/?p=45250Arkells stopped by Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre for the leg of their Rally Cry Tour.
Arkells is becoming Canada’s rock saviour for the Millennial generation.
While I thought the audience seen very scattered in the GA area and the seats before they went on.
But once they got on stage it was a wild fun times with everyone standing and dancing!
The band is currently promoting their fifth album Rally Cry which is getting good reviews.
Wonderful stage presences by lead singer Max Kerman moving all around the stage.
Mix of the hits from their discography, I was just happy to hear Oh, The Boss Is Coming!
Overall they rolled out the good times for a Friday night even if Max had to bring out sick notes for those not having to come to work the next day.
They already become a band that can do rock stadium shows! 8/10.

Opening up for Arkells was the American Lord Huron.
Glad to finally see them live since I missed them back in 2017 when they played at Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party.
Performed a wonderful rock set and played tracks from their 2018 album Vide Noir. 7/10.

http://photogmusic.com/coeurdepirate-sarahbradley-bronsoncentre/#respondSat, 02 Feb 2019 05:42:03 +0000http://photogmusic.com/?p=45208Who knew a fog machine would set off the fire alarm at Bronson Centre on February 1, 2019.
A sold out show for Cœur de pirate who is promoting her 2018 album en cas de tempête, ce jardin sera fermé.
Opening up the show was Ottawa’s Sarah Bradley.
Performing a stripped down piano pop ballad of her own music.
Most from the 2018 EP For The Kill.
It was a lovely set to start off the show. 7/10.
Then it was Cœur de pirate turn to perform.
It was a mix of her performing with or without the piano.
From wonderful tracks like Ensemble, Somnambule to the crowd pleasing Oublie Moi and Comme Des Enfants.
Around 30 minutes into the set the fire alarm went off due to the fog machine.
That was during Malade and the Chris Isaak cover of Wicked Game (Not the Weeknd version).
Kind of distracting but she pulled it off by playing the piano until the alarm went off.
Interacting the audience both French and English.
Hadn’t seen her live in quite some time and overall I really enjoyed the show. 8/10/

http://photogmusic.com/danmangan-mattholubowski-actottawa/#respondWed, 30 Jan 2019 05:21:56 +0000http://photogmusic.com/?p=45189It was not cold in the summer but cold in the winter.
Even this record breaking snowstorm Ottawa has endured didn’t stop people from attending this wonderful concert with Dan Mangan and Matt Holubowski at Algonquin Commons Theatre.
Show started off with Matt Holubowski.
The Montreal musician performed a intimate folk alternative music.
Kind of a mix between Damien Rice, Bon Iver and Leonard Cohen. 7/10.
Then it was Dan Mangan’s turn to shine on the stage.
Currently touring and promoting his fourth album More or Less which came out on November 2, 2018.
Playing between tracks from the album More or Less and Nice, Nice, Very Nice which I noticed is 10 years old!
Did a surprising cover of Robyn’s Hang With Me.
There was the favorites like The Indie Queen Are Waiting, Road Regrets, Basket and the crowd pleasing Robots.
Ended off with Dan getting off stage and into the crowds which was unreal! What a show! 10/10.

Currently touring the 2019 EP called Chromatic.
Wonderful set filled with upbeat, high positive energy R&B/Soul and Pop music.
With the well attended audience, I really enjoyed the music and was grooving to it. 8/10.

http://photogmusic.com/patrickwatson-nac/#respondSun, 20 Jan 2019 15:16:27 +0000http://photogmusic.com/?p=45152A spectacular and magical night at NAC Southam Hall with Patrick Watson on January 19, 2019.
Being backed up by the NAC Orchestra was truly an emotional journey.
Patrick sure knows which songs to pick that connected well with the orchestra like Wooden Arms, Beijing and Adventures in Your Own Backyard.
The icing on the cake was To Build a Home which I got very emotional listening.
Since the song was played on This Is Us which was on a heartbreaking cryfest on season 2 episode 13.
You can tell that Patrick was really invested with this arrangement having the orchestra bring life to his own music.
Definitely a wonderful show to kick off 2019 at the NAC! 10/10.
